Our rodeo family at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo blessed the JCCF with a $35,000 donation and a $25,000 donation to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame & Museum of the American Cowboy!The Cowboy Golf Classic Committee with Terry and Johanna Olivarri taking the lead work so hard and we are grateful! Thank you to Keith Martin and the amazing staff and volunteers for putting on such a great show while supporting rodeo charities!

The Osceola County Community is thrilled to welcome the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kissimmee, Florida on March 25 – 28, 2015 at the Silver Spurs Arena at Osceola Heritage Park. As a part of the festivities the local organizing committee wanted to make sure and “give back” to the rodeo community. For this reason they are organizing the Skirts and Spurs Luncheon and Style Show to benefit the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund. A special parternship with the Westgate Resorts Foundation is helping make the event possible.

The event will take place at the beautiful Westgate Vacation Villas Townhall on Thursday, March 26 at 11:30 a.m. and will offer a fun style show with local retailers showcasing their style on models representing the 12 PRCA Circuits. There will be lots of great drawings as well as a live and silent auction. 107.7’s Leslie Gayle will Emcee the event with the help of The Ram National Finals Specialty Act and PRCA funnyman Troy Lerwill. Look for lots of surprises and maybe even a few cowboys!

We look forward to seeing many of you in beautiful Florida for the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo and the Skirts and Spurs Luncheon and Style Show!

The small community rallied around the sport of rodeo and its athletes at the community center where a sold out crowd enjoyed a wonderful dinner, dancing and watching the 10th round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. This event showed the true spirit of the sport of rodeo and raised an astonishing $30,000 for the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund.

World Champion PRCA Steer Wrestler Dean Gorsuch has known the highs of winning two world titles and the lows of being injured and having to sit out of rodeo for an extensive time time. Even in the down times he and his wife Bekah wanted to know how to “give back”. Dean and Bekah were so thankful for the assistance the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund had afforded them in the times Dean was not able to rodeo due to injury that they wanted to support the Fund and they came up with the idea of the 10th Round Party. Once Bekah and her friend Kristen Kraupie got a hold of the idea it was bound to be a success. What started as a fundraising event for JCCF ended as a community gathering of rodeo fans and participants in a time where they wouldn’t normally see each other.

We are in awe of the results of this event and so thankful that we get to work in an industry with folks like Dean, Bekah, Kristen and everyone who attended, donated and supported the event in any way. They hope to make this an annual event so if you are in the Bridgeport, Nebraska area keep an eye out for information on the 2015 10th Round Party, of course Dean and Bekah hope to be missing the party this year with a healthy Dean making his run at qualifying for the 2015 Wrangler NFR, but they want the spirit of giving and fun to continue.

by Susan Kanode

The 27th annual Pro Rodeo League of Women Style Show & Luncheon was once again a huge success, raising $85,000 for the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund.

It has been a collective effort by wives, mothers and friends of rodeo contestants who have worked diligently to raise money with the luncheon tickets, raffles, auction items and donations for a fun-filled event that has become a Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) tradition. Hosted by Michael and Paula Gaughan at the South Point Hotel Casino and Spa, this event has raised over $1.5 million that has been given back to rodeo contestants who are injured and need financial assistance for living expenses.

Sharon Camarillo and Jennifer Smith provided a running commentary. Coors Man in the Can John Harrison assisted with raffle items and his wife, Carla, provided auctioneer services. The event is spearheaded by Tracy Hedeman and Stacy Custer, who put together a team of volunteers who work all year long to make each year’s event bigger and better.

“I’m constantly amazed at how the rodeo family comes together and supports each other,” said Karl Stressman, commissioner of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund board member. “The dedication of these women, the sponsors and donors is unsurpassed. Not only are they raising valuable funds, they are keeping Western traditions alive and well.”
